IMPROVEMENT IN ATTACHMENTS TO CHINENEVS OR FLUES.

Specication forming part of Letters Patent No. 143,54), dated October 7,1873; application led July l2, 1873.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, Mrs. JANE ELIZA STARNES, of Worthington, in thecounty of Greene and State of Indiana, have invented a new and valuableImprovement in Attachments ,to Chimneys or Flues; and I do herebydeclare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description ofthe construction and operation of the same, reference being had to theannexed drawings making` a part of this specification, and to theletters and gures of reference marked thereon. Figure l of the drawingsis a representation of my invention in longitudinal section, and Fig. 2is a front view of the same.

The nature of my invention consists in the construction and arrangementof an attach.

ment for chimneys or lues, whereby a fire in one room may be made toheat the room directly above it, as will be hereinafter more fully setforth.

In the drawings like letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.

A represents a chimney or flue of a house. B indicates the floor of therst or bottom story; C, theiioor of the second story, and D A re beingbuilt in a fireplace in the lower story, at the foot of the chimney, ora stove placed so as to communicate with the same, the heat and smokeascending the chimney will strike the lower partition a, and pass intothe drum G at the lower end, through this drum, and into the chimneyagain at the upper end of the drum, above the upper partition a. Duringits passage through the drum G the smoke and heat, which would otherwisepass directly up the chimney and be lost, will heat the room in whichthe drum is placed.

To insure a perfect land thorough draft through the drinn G the lowerend of the same is made wider than the'upper, as shown in Fig. l. In theupper end of the drum G is a damper, b, for regulating the draft, and inthe front side of the drum is a sliding door, d, for cleaning out thesoot, Sto. A similar drum may be used in the third story, also.

Vhat I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

The curved tapering drum G, having the extensions a a of its inner wall,the damper b, door d, and open ends 'v o', the latter communicating,respectively, with the openings n n', arranged one above the other Vinthe chimney-wall, substantially as specified.

In testimony that I claim the above I have hereunto subscribed my namein the presence of two witnesses.

JANE ELIZA STARNES.
